WK1

Yes! All these are based on a index derived through thousands and thousands of data point. Not on the whim and fancies of one or two individuals. And the index shows the superiority of TBW, no matter what one or two individuals may say about TBW.

Yes! This is the right link
I think I saw it in Twitter as well. The numbers show that TBW is still ahead. The heat index did drop from 10,000 to 9941, but it is still ahead of the competition.

And in terms of drama character Ji Yunhe is top, followed by both characters acted by Allen. Clear evidence of acting skills of Reba and Allen.

Numbers do not lie.

We are with you in this. In a post not too far below, Lili showed us a Facebook page which indicated that the two leads have done amazingly well.

And the scene that you have mentioned, that can bring tears of joy to many people.

Is there something wrong with this link? I see all Thai comments, and none of it seems related to TBW. I will try to open this link with another device

What is interesting about this statistic is that TBW's market share is more than double the one right below it. This is not just winning the market share, but dominating the market.

We know that the remaining 6 episodes of TBW will be great. The previews in Weibo look great. So it will likely stay number 1 the rest of they way.

I am not sure. I just go into Twitter and I saw her posting lots of stuff.

But you could be right. Could be the same person we are following.

Someone just posted this in Twitter: https://twitter.com/DLRB88/status/1516233455352582146?s=20&t=asIEaNxBQuA3TJx5fCVH7g

No 1 webdrama for 18 April is The Blue Whisper

It is there in Twitter. Someone showed all those cute dolls and how you can buy them.

The original title of the novel in Chinese is 驭鲛记, which is auto-translated into: The Legend of Shark. Grammatically, it should be The Legend of a Shark.
So, no, the novel does not have the same title as the drama.

They titled the drama The Blue Whisper, likely because in the US, the term Whisperer is used to convey the idea of someone who is very skilled in the taming of an animal. Blue is associated with the sea. Hence the title, The Blue Whisper, as the Female Lead was able to tame a merman, who is the Male Lead in the drama.

MK916, she is in a post below not far from yours. She has made lots of FMV. She is great with video editing. I am sure at the right time, she will make some FMVs for us, comprising just the main couple.

I also enjoy watching the two main side couples. I have full trust in the very capable director, who is trying to weave the side couples' storyline into the main couple's love, romance and adventures.

Just like TLB, I suspect something is going to happen to one of the side couples, something that will make us feel very sad and tear up even for them. This director is well known for doing that. He did it in Noble Aspiration 1, killing off the main FL at very last episode. He did it in TLB, killing off the partner of the third couple. I think here in TBW, he might just do it again.

I have done some simple research to give context to the above tweet. Since 2018, Youku has stopped using viewcount as a way to measure the popularity of a drama that it streams.

Someone in Twitter explained what the Heat Index is all about. It is based on view number, as well as audience feedback, the performance of a drama in Youku's whole network, audience's hot discussion of a drama in Weibo. So Heat Index is an indication of how popular a drama is, in Youku's platform before, during and even after a drama has aired.

In the above tweet, there is an article in orange which states since 2018, no drama has achieved higher rating than TBW. In short, it is the best drama on Youku's platform since 2018. Prior to that, we do not know, since Youku only started using Heat Index in 2018.

Just for comparison, a very popular Xianxia drama called Love and Redemption, the highest Heat Index that it achieved was 9993. Royal Nirvana, another popular historical Cdrama, hit the highest Heat Index of 9624.

I am sorry but I am not you. We are made differently. If someone made a statement that I can easily counter with solid evidence, I will.

On the page of The Long Ballad, we did that. And here, I will also do it. And not just me, lots of others as well. A great majority are just not here, yet.

You do what pleases you, but let others who enjoy pushing back against people who want to pull down TBW do what pleases them.

You can call it cyberbullying. I call it speaking the truth. 说真话很重要

Sure. If people just want to come here and drop bad comments, we have a way of dealing with them. We just leave them alone. They are entitled to their opinions, we are also entitled not to respond to them. But if they want to engage with us, they do owe us an explanation.

All well informed, educated, intelligent individual make comments based on facts, evidence, good argument, and not sweeping statements.

Yes, she is

Here is the latest tweet someone posted, indicating just how good this drama has been. My Chinese is not great. I can just make it out TBW is the first drama which hit the Youku Heat Index of 10,000. There are other stuff in there too. Maybe those with great understanding of Chinese can give us more details?

Yes. Every MDL drama page of a popular drama is filled with people who like that drama. This page and the page of Part 1 is no different. Those who are in denial that this is great drama should not come here, spread negativity and hope that all of us will just keep quiet, and let them make misleading statements about this drama.

We have lots of hard data to show just how good this drama is and how great all the acting, not just by the two leads, but even many of the supporting cast members. Numbers do not lie.

All you need to know is that this drama is doing extremely well in China. It has hit the highest possible score of 10,000 on Youku's Heat Index, meaning people who watched this show in China loved it and love to talk about it in Weibo, which is the largest social media in China.

This indicates that this is a great drama, even though right now, there are no English subs and the only people who can truly enjoy it now are those with very good command of Mandarin and Chinese.

If you do not have good command of Mandarin and Chinese, just wait for the subs to be out. Should be out soon.

Yes, she says she covers the media industry in China. So, she should know how well this drama is doing, that it is topping charts everywhere in China. So, I pointed out to her, a directionless director cannot possibly be doing a such a great job in China.

If I am not wrong, this is the only Youku drama that has managed to hit the Youku Heat Index of 10,000. And, not only that, it is the only drama which did it 3 days in a row. Article after article that I read online sings praises about TBW, great acting by Allen and Reba, great chemistry, etc.

So, I thought to myself, if she covers the media industry in China, surely, she must be aware of all these sentiments. And so I pushed against her, when she said felt zero chemistry until the latest two episodes, and claimed that the director is directionless, when this director has directed so many big hits in China.

Everyone has every right to say whatever he or she wants. But, everyone who does that needs to also be aware that other people can push back. This is after all a discussion forum, not just a place for people to make all kinds of comments and even outright false statements and hope to get away with it.

When she said the latest episodes were the first she felt chemistry, I merely countered by saying why didn't she feel chemistry in all those previous episodes that made hundreds of us teared up.

When she said the director is directionless, I countered by noting how well this drama has done in China.

These were all done to engage her in a healthy debate. Nothing more and nothing less.

And then she said I am a broken record and a bot. And that is when I called her out for making outright false statements on another page, regarding a drama of Dilraba.

You are a fan of Allen, am I right? If someone makes a false statement regarding Allen, would you not push back against that comment and call out that person for making a patently false statement??

Is calling a spade a spade cyberbullying?? I was merely trying to keep this place safe, to make sure people come here make responsible statements.

If I do see people making outright false statements, it is my duty to call this person out, so that others may be aware of this person.

And if you need another person who knew about the false statement that this person has made, please check with the commentator called Birdlady. She was the one who spotted the outright false statement that PBG made, and brought it to my attention.
